NOTES: The Cafe Royal, originally known as Cafe-Restaurant Nichols, was established in 1865 by the French wine merchant Daniel Nicholas Thevenon who changed his name to Daniel Nichols soon after his arrival in England in 1863. Aping its original style, Sir Henry Tanner refashioned the cafe as part of the redevelopment of the Regent Street Quadrant in the 1920s.
